Excerpt from The Uses of the Camel: Considered With a View to His Introduction Into Our Western States and Territories; A Paper Read Before the American Geographical and Statistical Society, March 2d, 1865

A daily line of stages is running, with tolerable regularity, from Atchison to Placerville, California. The Mormons have their trains; and thousands of adventurers, apart from the above described travel to Colorado, with their own private convey auces, are pressing annually to the farthest west. Yet this method of communication with our territories is slow and difficult, and runs but over a narrow ribbon or two of soil. The large portion of our western domain is yet juntrodden by the fbot of civilization, inviting the explorer with its promise of fresh fields and pastures new.
